Common Questions About Oreo Cookie Crust

Do I need a food processor for this recipe?

A food processor is super handy for getting fine crumbs quickly. But if you don’t have one, you can place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

Just requires a little bit more elbow grease! Actually, if you’ve got kids around, they’ll love this part. Be sure to get them involved. Recipes like this are great ones for making memories!

Is it a must to refrigerate before adding my filling?

Yes, refrigerating allows the crust to set more fully and ensures it won’t fall apart when you add your filling. Nobody wants a weak crust! Think of it as giving your crust a little “strength training”, haha!

Can I use this for both bake and no-bake pie recipes?

You sure can! This is a really versatile Oreo cookie pie crust and can be the perfect base for both baked and no-bake fillings.

Storage

I love making a few of these crusts ahead of the holidays. That way I’ve got a quick crust on hand from the freezer when I want to make a good no-bake. Tis the season, haha!

Refrigerator

Once you’ve pressed your crust into your pie pan, you can cover it with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before adding your filling.

Freezer

For longer storage, wrap the crust in both plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before use.

Tips

My biggest tip is to experiment a little. A good Oreo crust recipe is one that you know how to make by heart. The more you practice, the better these will turn out!

• For a crunchier crust, try baking it in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
• No pie pan? A springform pan or tart pan works great too!
• If your mixture feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of melted butter.
• For a thinner crust, simply reduce the number of Oreos and butter proportionately.

Ingredients

It doesn’t get much simpler than that, right? It’s an easy Oreo pie crust recipe that you’ll want to keep in your book from here on out!
